I've been shopping here for years now because their vegetables (although limited) are extremely fresh, very ripe, ready to use and CHEAP! I use zucchini, onions (cebollita green and yellow), red Morron peppers, Key limes, smaller avocados, dried chilies, large cheap carrots, cabbage, lettuce and Roma tomatoes constantly. La Azteca not only has them fresher but cheaper. They get their deliveries of fresh produce Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday so I try to go these days.
They also have the best taqueria in town. Each one costs $1.49 and you pay for them at the cashier checkout and take your receipt over to the grill. There you order the tacos from about 15 different fillings and choose which tortilla you want. If you want to eat them there, they have a salsa bar near the seats. We both love the Sonora style filling -- cabbage, jalapeño, tomato addition (cabbage lasts longer, stays fresher and tastes better in tacos than lettuce) plus radishes, limes, cilantro and juicy tomato based salsa for you to add to your tacos as you will.
Their staff is bi-lingual so if you don't speak Spanish, don't worry -- there are a lot of very helpful employees to assist you and customers that will help also.
They now have an in-house tortilla making service behind the grill section next to the beauty shop. You can buy fresh, hot off the grill tortillas. Now you can buy fresh masa if you want to roll out your own tortillas at home. These are the tortillas they use for the tacos they sell at the grill.
I buy all my vegetables here for the high quality and low costs they have. And other Anglos have caught on to this bargain place in Terrell as well. I see more and more of my fellow Anglos shopping here for the same reasons -- high quality and the lowest prices in town. read more
